Like many cottages in the area, the property operates on a septic system. To help keep everything running smoothly for everyone, we kindly ask guests to flush only toilet paper.
If you plan to enjoy the BBQ, please remember to turn off the propane tank after use and give the grill a quick clean so it’s ready for the next delicious meal.
You may also notice that the front lawn area contains part of the septic system, so we kindly ask that vehicles remain on the driveway and avoid driving on the grass.
Our goal is simply to provide a comfortable, relaxing, and memorable Muskoka stay. If you need anything during your visit or would like local recommendations, we’re always happy to help - just send us a message anytime. 😊
